Each year, over 15 million people travel with their pets, whether across the interstate or around the globe. But fur couldn’t always fly…comfortably, anyway. 20 years ago, pets were not allowed to travel in-cabin on any airline in the United States. But thanks to a bold, pet-loving flight attendant, today’s travelers can tote their small companions just about anywhere they choose.
In the 1970’s, Gayle Martz was a flight attendant (or “hostess”, as they were called in her era), who wanted to travel with her beloved dog, “Sherpa.” After designing the first Sherpa® soft sided pet carrier in 1991, Gayle knew she had a lot of work ahead of her in changing long-standing policies that prohibited pets from traveling comfortably in-cabin. One by one, she worked with each individual airline to advocate on behalf of pet-parents like herself. Her tireless efforts creating a pivotal turning point in the way we travel with our pets today. Sherpa’s exclusive partnerships with all major airlines are now so strong that the company developed a step-by-step process to guarantee hassle-free travel with pets. Guaranteed On Board™ promises air travelers that they will never to be denied in-cabin admittance due to their pet carrier, or the price of airfare and pet travel fees are refunded.
As pets continue to become an integral part of our families, they are also becoming more widely accepted in restaurants, shops, accommodations, and destinations. Now, not only do people tote pets on vacations, but they are also inviting them along on shopping trips, picnics, hikes, runs, and daily errands. Pet travel equipment is becoming even more comfortable, fashionable, and functional for both pets and pet-parents.
